I know one who took a policeman to court for this. His dad was a lawyer.

I believe what happened in Minnesota is a crime like any other and should be dealt with by our court system. I believe the book should be thrown at this police office and he should spend time in jail for third degree murder. But I don’t believe there should be rioting every time something like this happens. What’s the point? To be able to get some free things out of a Walmart?

Protesting without an objective is a bit silly and provides coverage for these other parties whether criminals, antifa, or the bugaloo boys. IDFK. I agree.

There is still a lot of racism on how people are treated, but with enough experience in life it somewhat dulls you to it. I'm basically racist. Always have issues with black people and I live in a very white town. Some great black people here and I try to not be, but I don't have enough energy in me to be a 100% idealist in life. I've had/have black friends and you feel for them.

It is hard to say what motivated that officer to put his knee on his neck like that then hands in pocket for maximum weight to basically choke the guy out.

Third degree murder but look how long that shit took. He was basically let off by the police department for this. He'd be fired at worst and could then just go find a job somewhere else. Doesn't matter what you think should be done, that is what would have happened. Thats what you don't seem to get.

They should arrest every other officer for manslaughter for being part of all of this.

So yea, cops will be cops, but cops need to stop protecting their own. That is a diseased brotherhood. One dies they have a 2 mile long procession. When one of them murders someone over BS they all look the other way. Fuck that.

Personally I've taken all my pmags and put in green tipped ammo.
You’re kind of missing my point accountinquestion. I agree this was a heinous crime and the police who stood by and watched it should be prosecuted too.

My point is why protest? Everybody who saw the video knows what those police officers did was wrong, and we have a justice system to deal with it.

And if we want to look at racism within the Police Department how about what happened last year with the black police officer who shot an innocent white woman and killed her. It was much worse than anything that happened in the current case. In the current case at least the guy was a criminal, a druggie, and resisting arrest.

She was innocent and did absolutely nothing wrong and was shot by a black police officer. Even his partner could not defend what he did.

Did a bunch of white people protest, riot, and claim all police abuse their power, and all police try to kill white people? Did they see this as an opportunity to steal things from their local Walmart? No. They saw it for what it was. A one-off “bad apple” policeman who committed a henious crime.

And our court system dealt with Noor and he’s now spending 12 years in jail, which I think is not long enough for taking an innocent person’s life

If you want to know the case I’m referring to it’s Noor (a black policeman) shooting and killing Diamond (an innocent white women). And this happened in Minneapolis too, with liberal Democrat mayors and police chiefs and libs in about every other part of their local government.

It’s amazing how anybody can still be a liberal after seeing what’s going on in Minneapolis. Liberal policies have not been shown to work anywhere in the world, but there are still diehard liberals like you and Midwest player. Sad!
You guys are great at making my point. So I looked into this case. This woman's family won $20 million from Mineapolis police department.

This current guy was a druggie and this and that, but they slowly choked him out over a prolonged period of time where multiple people pleaded for the cop to stop. It was an event where the cops had many many chances to simply not continue restraining him in the manner they were. This Noor guy had some second of bad decision making. (yes, I heard the story before - had to refresh my memory.) He is now serving 12.5 years. Yes, it took some time to get there. See, whites aren't too worried. When a black guy does it, it was his fault. What about Philandro Castille? LEt me see. Ok, his family got 3.8 million. Cop not found guilty but he was fired. Black man is worth 1/5th of black woman. This sounds like a debate of the Founding Fathers.

Why are they continuing to protest? I agree it doesn't really matter when you have no objective which makes it all hazy. However, in the end pressure needs to be put on the police structure to police their own. Sitting around chanting kumbayah doesn't cut it.
